          Sam, an unemployed piano tuner, said it was only the second thing he had ever won in his life. The
    first thing was an Afghan blanket at a church raffle (抽奖) when he was 25 years old. But this was much
    bigger: it was $120,000! He had won the Big Cube, a state lottery (彩票) game. To win, a contestant must
    first guess which number a spinning cube will stop on. The cube has six numbers on it: 1X, 10X, 50X,
    100X, 500X, and 1000X.If he is correct, the contestant must then guess which of two selected variables
    (变量) is going to be greater. So, just guessing which number appears on the cube does not guarantee that
    you will win any money.
         Sam correctly guessed 1000X, but he still had to choose between two variables. One variable was the
    number of cars that would run the stop sign at Hill Street and Lake Avenue in six hours. The other variable
    was the number of times that a teenage boy would change TV channels in a three-hour period. This was a
    tough decision.
         Finally, Sam flipped a coin. It came up heads, so Sam picked the teenager. He picked right. The stop
    sign was run only 76 times, but the teen clicked 120 times. Sixty-year-old Sam jumped for joy, for he had
    just won 1000 times 120, or $120,000.Sam dreamily left the lottery studio. Talking excitedly on his cell
    phone while crossing the street, he got hit by a little sports car.
        Sam is slowly getting better. He was in the hospital for a month.His hospital bill was $110,000.And the
    insurance company for the little sports car's owner sued (起诉) Sam for $9,000 worth of repairs. Also,
    Sam still has to pay federal taxes on his winnings. Sam doesn't play the state lottery any more. He says it's
    better to be unlucky.
    1.What can be inferred about Sam from the passage? 
    A. He always has bad luck.
    B. He seldom goes to a raffle.
    C. He is a very careful person in life.
    D. He used to be crazy about lottery tickets.
    2.Which of the following played a vital role in Sam's winning the big prize?
    A. The cube.
    B. The coin.
    C. The blanket.
    D. The stop sign.
    3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. The lottery game was a complete lie.
    B. Sam was quite familiar with the boy.
    C. The owner of the car is now in hospital.
    D. Sam will have none of the prize money left.
    4.What could be the best title for the passage?
    A. Curiosity killed the cat
    B. Joy puts heart into a man
    C. Extreme joy ends in sorrow
    D. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush

         A boy was born to couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy
    was the apple of their eyes. When the boy saw around two years old, the husband saw a medicine bottle
    open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and put it in the cupboard. The mother,
    preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.
         The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to it and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened
    to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages (剂量). When the child fell down, the mother
    hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was unconscious. She was terrified how to face
    her husband.
          When the distraught (心烦意乱的) father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at
    his wife and uttered just four words.
         What do you think those four words were? The husband just said,"I love you, darling".
         The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive (积极主动的) behavior. The child is dead. He
    can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he
    have taken time to put the bottle away, this would not have happened. No point in attaching blame. She had
    also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband.
    That is what he gave her. 
         Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who's to blame, whether in a relationship, in a
    job or with the people we know and miss out on the warmth in human relationships we could receive by
    giving each other support. After all, shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world
    to do? Treasure what you have. Don't multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding onto forgiveness.
         If everyone could look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be fewer problems in the world.
    Take off all your envies, jealousies, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things
    are actually not as difficult as you think.
    1. The meaning of the underlined phrase is ____.
    A. an adult
    B. a healthy boy
    C. the love of the parents
    D. a naughty boy
    2. Why was the mother terrified to face the husband?
    A. Because she was afraid of her husband.
    B. Because she thought that was her fault.
    C. Because she poisoned her son herself.
    D. Because she wanted to kill herself.
    3. What does this passage mainly talk about?
    A. Be careful to do everything.
    B. Forgive what you shouldn't forgive.
    C. Treasure what you have now.
    D. Envy can mislead the way you go.
    4. Which column of a paper can we find this article?
    A. Financial aid to students.
    B. Grand view of science.
    C. Enjoying the countryside view.
    D. Life and society.

         Jean - Gilles was a millionaire. But Tuesday night, he was sleeping in his car.
         Jean - Gilles was the owner of the Peace of Mind Hotel in Jacmel, Haiti, a three - story, 30-room
    building in a quiet tropical valley on Haiti's southern coast, 25 miles from the noises of the capital,
    Port-au-Prince. Jean-Gilles and his wife, Marie, lived in an apartment on the property, close enough
    to watch carefully over the guest rooms, conference rooms and restaurant, close enough that they know
    the first name of every guest.
         After the 7.0-earthquake hit at 4:57 pm on Jan. 12,2010, they slept in their aging Isuzu, parked in the
    hotel driveway.
         Jean-Gilles figured a second was the difference between life and death when the earthquake struck.
    He was working in a ground - floor conference room and first heard, then felt the quake. He asked his
    electrician, Roberne St. Louis, who was working nearby, what was happening.
         "Get out. Now. Get out. Now," St. Louis said.
         Jean-Gilles cleared the falling structure by a mere second, he estimated. His wife, who was working
    in the couple's apartment on the second floor, wasn't able to get clear. People nearby heard her screams
    after the shaking stopped and removed the building blocks around her by hand. She was shaken and
    scratched, but walked away from the ruins.
         "I am alive. God is good," she repeated over and over on Saturday.
         The Peace of Mind Hotel was a dream which had come true for Jean-Gilles, 57, and Marie, 59. Born
    in Port- au-Prince, they moved to the United States shortly after meeting 34 years ago. Together, they owned
    a beauty supply store in jersey City, New Jersey, and invested in real estate. In 2003, they cashed out their
    US investments, returned to Haiti and began building the Peace of Mind Hotel, looking to make a future for
    themselves and the people of their homeland.
    1. Which of the following statements about Jean-Gilles is TURE?
    A. He lived far from the Peace of Mind Hotel.
    B. He helped St. Louis to manage a hotel.
    C. He was born in Haiti in 1976.
    D. He once owned a store in the US.
    2. According to the passage, the Peace of Mind Hotel ____.
    A. offered guests different services
    B. was located in the capital city of Haiti
    C. was a building with 30 guest rooms
    D. was owned by Marie and St. Louis
    3. When the earthquake hit, Marie was ____.
    A. sleeping in the car
    B. working in the conference room
    C. working on the second floor
    D. cooking in the restaurant
    4. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
    A. Haiti is the 51 st state of the US
    B. the earthquake happened quickly and unexpectedly
    C. nobody in the hotel died in the earthquake
    D. Marie was not sad about losing her property in the earthquake

         The cost of rice is expected to go up in the coming months, as an improving global economy raises
    demand, and drought (旱灾) cuts production in countries such as India. Some economists say prices for
    rice, the Precision Castingstaple food for much of the world's population, could be returning to levels that
    sparked inflation (通货膨胀) fears in much of Asia last year.
         Charuk Singhapreecha is dean of the faculty (系)of economics at Thailand's Kasetsart University. He
    says prices-especially for Thai rice-are being pushed higher by new customers coming into the market
    after the economic slowdown of the past year."They expect that the world demand will increase andCast
    steel we expect that the price of rice will increase next year, " Charuk said."There are many new markets
    for the Thai rice and also we still have for our old customer-China, some Arab countries-they will increase
    the demand."
         Prices on the global market could again near the record above $1,000 a ton set in the middle of 2008.
    This month, export prices for Southeast Asian rice have jumped from about $550 a ton or less to more
    than $650.
         Vichai Sriprasert, president of the Thai Rice Exporters Association, says further weakness in the US
    dollar and concerns over drought add to pressure on prices. Market experts say next year India is likely
    to try to import three million tons of rice - entering the world market for the first time in 21 years-because
    of a drought.
         Vichai also warns that increasing demand for bio-fuels (生物燃料) from grain could reduce food crops,
    forcing the price of food grains higher. "This is very serious. That's why the price of rice will not go back
    to the level that we used to see," Vichai said. "It will have to be elevated at a higher level, but I don't know
    where." 
         The Philippines this week said it is cutting rice imports because of high prices, even though the country
    lost more than a million tons of grain to typhoons this year. Officials from Vietnam, a leading export
    competitor with Thailand, predict prices will reach about $800 a ton by the middle of 2010. This week
    the Philippines' National Food Authority offered almost $665 a ton for 600,000 tons of Vietnamese rice.
         Economists say higher food prices will only increase the problems faced by the region's poor, who are
    highly dependent on rice as a staple food.
    1. Which of the following is NOT true according to paragraph 1?
    A. Drought reduces production of rice in India.
    B. Prices for rice were lower all the time in 2008.
    C. Rice is a major food for the world's population.
    D. The improving global economy increases the need for rice.
    2. How many reasons did Vichai mention about rice price's going up?
    A. 1.
    B. 2.
    C. 3.
    D. 4.
    3. Why does the Philippines plan to cut rice imports?
    A. Because of high prices.
    B. Because of typhoons.
    C. Because of civil war.
    D. Because of drought.
    4. What's the best title of the passage?
    A. Higher food prices will increase problems
    B. There are many new markets for the Thai rice
    C. The global economy is improving
    D. Prices for rice are expected to rise

         Sixteen-year-old Karlos Dearmans's future is looking much brighter than be might have imagined.
    "I've always been into bikes, but never thought I'd end up working with them," he says. "This scheme
    has changed my life." 
         Karlos is learning to refurbish (翻新) old bicycles in the workshop of ReCycle Bikes, a local community
    (社区) charity in Sheffied, which has a contract with the city council to provide training opportunities for
    young people aged 14 to 16, particularly those dropping out of school.
         "It's about engaging youngsters with education and you thtraining by teaching them work and life skills,"
    explains Des Pearce, workshop training manager. "These young people have so much potential, but often
    don't realize it."
         Established in 2001, ReCycle Bikes repairs bicycles donated by the public, which, once restored, are
    sold for £20. Abandoned bikes supplied by the council ensure a steady flow of bikes, but a recently
    formed partnership with Sheffield University should improve further the prospects of the young mechanics.   
         "The student population presents a large and ready market," says Pearce. "So we approached the
    university last year and offered to host bike sales on the campus. They thought it was a great idea, and
    agreed to supplement our council funding. This means we can train youngsters to repair extra 500 bikes
    over three years."   
         Having set up ReCycle Bikes on his own, Pearce now has the staff and resources to track the career
    development of those who have passed through his workshop. "However, in the past we depended on
    the evidence of personal accounts from the schools because of lack of human and material resources,"
    he says.   
         That most of the teenagers enjoy the work is, according to Pearce, easily explained. "Most kids have
    ridden a bike and know how to oil a chain or mend a puncture. As low-cost transport, cycling gives the
    young and old a sense of freedom and independence, and the impact on their well-being is immense. Add
    to that a growing concern for the environment, and it's no surprise that bike sales are on the increase."
    1. What do we know about ReCycle Bikes?
    A. It is a popular brand of bikes which are sold in Sheffield.
